+;;; Commentary:

+;;; This module supports the configuration of the D-Bus message bus
+;;; (http://dbus.freedesktop.org/). D-Bus is an inter-process communication
+;;; facility. Its "system bus" is used to allow system services to
+;;; communicate and be notified of system-wide events.
+;;;
+;;; Code:
+
+(define (dbus-configuration-directory dbus services)
+ "Return a configuration directory for @var{dbus} that includes the
+@code{etc/dbus-1/system.d} directories of each package listed in
+@var{services}."

+ #~(begin
+ (use-modules (sxml simple))
+
+ (define (services->sxml services)
+ ;; Return the SXML 'includedir' clauses for DIRS.
+ `(busconfig

+ `(includedir ,(string-append dir
+ "/etc/dbus-1/system.d")))

+ ;; 'system.d', so create it.
+ (mkdir (string-append #$output "/system.d"))

+ ;; 'system.conf', so this is where we stuff our own things.
